A userscript solution that offloads Anubis proof-of-work challenges from browser JavaScript to native CPU or GPU code, achieving significant performance improvements. The implementation uses a Tampermonkey script to intercept PoW requests and forwards them to a local HTTP server running optimized mining algorithms with OpenCL acceleration. Performance increases from seconds to milliseconds, with difficulty 4 challenges completing in tens of milliseconds on CPU and difficulty 6 challenges (256x harder) completing similarly fast on GPU.

Doesn't this undermine the security of Anubis?

Why not just change your user-agent to one that Anubis allows unconditionally?

What if a malicious site sends fake PoW requests, to annoy me?
